Summary
It hadn’t exactly been Adam’s year.
Not that he could think of a time when a year had been particularly kind to him, but still.
Now here they were, looking to the summer, and Tony Khan had just excitedly announced a blind tag team tournament, the first in years.
***
Set in the very vague, very distant future after All Out 2024. The Strickpage Tag Team AU that no one asked for.

Summary
No part of Eddie’s day job is fun, exactly, but the clubs are the symbiote’s least favorite, and not just because they’d rather be doing hero work. People look at Eddie like they’re hungry for him— men and women both. The way Anne used to look at him, the memories tucked away but vivid; memories Eddie never calls up willingly, because when they come, he hurts.
The symbiote would like to fix it, but it feels like a wound that can’t be healed all at once. Something that needs coaxing, and care, and time.
Something that needs delicacy, but they want to try.
Eddie draws stares when they go to the club, blatant interest, and the symbiote doesn’t like it. Eddie belongs to them, now.
People call them lots of things, most of it unkind, but the symbiote has never felt monstrous quite like it does on nights like this— with men and women running their hands down Eddie’s arm, pink lips bitten between bright white teeth.

Summary
Izzy could easily pull himself back onto the boat, but he doesn’t. He treads water and he waits for Frenchie to come back for him and thinks about what a strange feeling it is. Knowing someone is coming back for him.
Or the one where Izzy’s first and only attempt to practice restraint backfires so severely that he gets himself kidnapped

Summary
“I think,” Frenchie pauses to lick his lips as his chin presses down into the bone in Izzy’s shoulder until it gives and Izzy pulls sideways, towards him. “I think you contain multitudes and in the next two years I’m going to pull every single thing out of you that I can. You’re going to be a different man when we dock, you’ll be so in love with me that it’ll take four deckhands to peel you off of me.”
Izzy hums in amusement at the projection. He turns his head a little and looks down to watch Frenchie look up at him curiously, his head weighing heavily against Izzy’s shoulder as their eyes meet. “We’ll see about that, won’t we?”
“Guess we will.”
Or the one where The Revenge goes on a leisure trip across the ocean. Izzy feels very normal about it.

Summary
Frenchie laughs.
He laughs, and the sound is so unexpected that Izzy startles, heart thumping unevenly in his chest, breath caught in his throat. His chin tilts and his eyes squint and his nose wrinkles with it, and it strikes Izzy that he’s never heard Frenchie laugh before. Not properly, not like this.
I could care for you, Izzy thinks, sudden and violent as a bolt of lightning splitting a mast.
I could care for you, if I chose to.
__
In which Frenchie unofficially usurps Izzy as first mate, and they both also fall in love a little bit.
Featuring an entirely baffled and unwillingly charmed Izzy Hands, Frenchie playing the long game, Edward Teach Makes a Friend, Fang And Ivan My Beloveds, a suitably murderous Jim Jimenez, and a very spiteful and pissed off ghost in the walls.
